We were learning about the importance of First Nations peoples to Canada in Social Studies 5. Students learned about the Medicine Wheel, the importance of the Circle to FN history, and how the FN structures their government, among other concepts. After researching, students compared FN peoples` way of structuring their government with Hutterians` government structure, and found them to be quite similar, which was an eye opener for them. Using a retelling strategy, students worked in small groups to find out certain information, and then as a whole group to share their findings. Students then took the information and as a whole group, collaborated to design a poster that could be hung in any classroom in Canada, showing the structure of government of First Nations people.

Discovering research techniques about their own formulated questions. Utilizing ABC Brainstorm 3. Making a Destination Road Map and Puzzle of Saskatchewan 4. Reading Saskatchewan based Literature and creating Pop-up books 5. Creating Mind-Maps of Saskatchewan topics of Study 6.

Aboriginal Literatures in Canada: A Teacher’s Resource Guide serves a double purpose: to encourage the teaching of Aboriginal literature in English high school curricula across the country because Aboriginal students deserve to be taught texts they can relate to and, because non-Aboriginal students should be educated about Aboriginal culture, history and contemporary life through the richness of Aboriginal writing with its innovative uses of the English language. Various works of Aboriginal literature are included.

Students working collaboratively on a mini-archaeology dig to locate and identify artifacts, create hypotheses about the objects and what information they tell us about a society, and research past artifacts to determine if their hypotheses were correct. Students had to use collaboration when working on the dig, when creating their hypotheses, when measuring the artifacts, and when forming conclusions. Additionally, students had to use critical thinking when formulating theories, researching and reviewing data online, assessing their ideas, analyzing and comparing their hypotheses with archaeology studies online, and when justifying their hypotheses (and proving them) with the artifact data they discovered online, and forming conclusions.

Sign up for a 45 minute virtual field trip, and follow it up with a classroom unit about human rights and being an upstander. The classroom unit includes an inquiry project.
Virtual Field Trip: Students will learn how to be human rights upstanders by discovering the stories of people who used their personal strengths to take a stand to protect their rights and the rights of others, creating change.
Students will: 1. Learn to identify traits all upstanders possess and understand that each of us also possess these traits in our own unique way. 2. Experience exhibits and the inspiring Museum architecture as if they were at the Museum in person. Interact with a Museum guide and ask questions to better understand how they can take action for positive change. 3. Engage in discussion, critical thinking and reflection on their role in the protection of their own rights and the rights of others.
Classroom Unit: The Be an Upstander resource is a project-based learning unit designed to complement the “Be an Upstander” school program. This resource targets students in middle years and encourages inquiry and action on human rights issues. Students will examine the traits of human rights upstanders and follow their example. By the end of the project, students will have had the opportunity to explore an issue they are personally passionate about, share their knowledge and lead others toward action.
The Be an Upstander website is a digital student experience designed to support student learning as part of a larger human rights themed, project-based learning unit. Students developing upstander projects will engage in personal inquiry and action on human rights issues that matter to them. Students will learn about the traits of human rights upstanders, be introduced to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and examine their personal strengths. Following the example of the upstanders they learn about, students will be challenged to take tangible steps to becoming human rights upstanders themselves.

Our project was to have our students compare birthday celebrations in other countries with those of their own. Students learned about birthdays in 3 other countries and then planned and carried out birthday parties that they hosted and attended. The parties were recorded on ipads. At the end they had to self-assess their role. The outcomes were for the students to be able to tell about traditions and celebrations in their families along with their classmates' and to be able to tell how families around the world are similar and different.
